A former safety, Brown made the transition to linebacker as a senior in 2009. He is undersized for the position, but he displays decent instincts inside and uses his speed and initial burst to quickly close on the football. But he lacks the physicality to hold up at the point of attack and can be easily washed away from the football. Gets manhandled inside the box when an opposing lineman gets into his frame. Lacks the type of athleticism and fluidly needed to make the move to strong safety in the NFL. Is an above-average athlete for the linebacker position who can track the football and close space quickly in the pass game. But he's a tweener who will need to make his mark on special teams to make a roster. He could eventually mature into a nickel linebacker.
